Yes, you read the headline right; Battle Royale, the 2000 Japanese film directed by Kinji Fukasaku, is being given the 3D conversion treatment for a re-release later this year. Battle Royale is a stunning film, based on a book by Koushun Takami, in which Japan implements the BR Act creating a deadly game where high [...]
Over at the Rian Johnson forums there is a really interesting post by ‘sarahalyse’ which collects a variety of posters for The Brothers Bloom from around the world. You can visit the forum and see the post here. This is particularly interesting as the original US poster for The Brothers Bloom was pretty poor and [...]
I can’t claim to know too much about Sex and the City 2, and let’s face it, I don’t really want to. That said, one thing I do know about the movie is that it has a massive following and therefore I have taken it upon myself to bring you this new batch of images [...]
Back in 1996, Mark Hamill wrote a 5-part comic book called The Black Pearl and today we’ve got word via Vairiety that it’s going to be turned into a film and directed by none-other than Luke Skywalker himself! The Black Pearl was always supposed to be a film but apparently mutated into a comic book [...]
There are some films which lay undisturbed in the video vault, and with good reason, others are waiting to be rediscovered and that is the joy of this box set. To instantly decry these films as exploitative trash is to miss the point, though it is not an unjustified criticism – if you’re interested in [...]
David Lynch is no stranger to directing adverts as you can see documented over at LynchNet and in my post about his Georgia Coffee commercials as part of our Twin Peaks Retrospective. I am normally against artists being involved in the world of advertising but I have always appreciated the fact that Lynch is relatively [...]
According to a recent article at Variety we will soon be seeing a French Jacques-Yves Cousteau biopic and it will be released in 3D. The French production company Pan Europeenne is behind the $37 million project which will be an adaptation of ‘Capitaine de la Calypso’, a biography of Cousteau written by Cousteau’s friend and colleague [...]
Just for the Record gets its DVD release today. The latest offering from British hard man movie veterans Raw Productions and Black and Blue Films represents quite a departure from the usual blokes, birds and bust ups you might expect from a glance at the impressive ensemble cast. Uniting honest-to-goodness Brit luvvies Rik Mayall and [...]
First off, I feel I must comment on the way festival staff (specifically the ushers/security team) dealt with the queuing members of the media before the screening. My enjoyment of Woody Allen’s latest was almost spoiled initially by the debacle created by another chaotic queuing process that almost spilled over into something ugly on Saturday [...]
Remember a while back, Craig posted this awesome look at all the Pixar movies in graphical form looking at each character according to when the movie was made? No, well, check it out here! The same, very talented man who brought us that image, have now made another one called 70 Disney Villains. This really [...]
I’ll keep it brief, because there is only so much bashing one film can take from one man, and I dont usually believe in exorcising critical demons in public unless a film really REALLY deserves it. But trust me, R U There did deserves it with a vengeance. I am enormously astounded that the film got [...]
Every now and again, there are movies we don’t get to see and we don’t get to review for you. One of our readers, Clare noticed that we didn’t have a review of Steetdance 3d (directed by Max Giwa & Dania Pasquini) so sent one into us. So, for your viewing pleasure, here is our [...]
Universal Pictures have got a brand new movie for everyone’s favourite, Zac Efron! The movie is called Charlie St. Cloud and is based on the book called ‘The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud’ written by Ben Sherwood. Universal have released a load of new promotional material including a new trailer (embedded below but [...]
Mike Leigh’s is always going to be a difficult filmic brand to promote among certain circles, with a group of critics I know personally split roughly fifty/fifty on his work: I think from conversations with the anti-Leigh brigade that the problem lies in his distinct, but often unthrilling narrative manifesto. There is never a guaranteed [...]
I finally caught up with Christopher Smith’s Möbius strip slasher Triangle yesterday and apart from being a genuinely terrifying thriller with some images and ideas that have been seared into the dark side of my brain, there was a singularly impressive performance from Melissa George. And in a curious twist of fate there’s news today [...]
Now that David Fincher is wrapping up his tale of Facebook lore in The Social Network, it was assumed that he was consumed with his English language adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but there’s news tonight that has come from left of leftfield – Fincher is talking to Disney with [...]
Summit Entertainment are seriously smashing out the promotional material for Twilight: Eclipse but let’s face it, they’re going to make a return on their money! For some reason, this franchise has gone ballistic and everytime we post something Twilight on here, we’re inundated with Twihard (welcome one and all!). This new banner is to advertise [...]
